Actually, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulate the labeling of beer. It was expected that the FDA's 20 ppm ruling would apply to beer, and early enzyme-treated products like Estrella Damm Daura (claiming less than 6 ppm) were indeed labeled as "gluten free". But the ATF/TTB stepped in and, because of questions about the measurement of gluten content in fermented foods, declared that any alcoholic beverage made with gluten-containing ingredients cannot be labeled as "gluten free". They came up with a compromise and do allow the "gluten reduced" and "crafted to reduce gluten" labeling we see today. This is an interim TTB policy and may or may not be amended to follow FDA guidelines in the future.
